    Despite using SA tap water (approx 150 ppm) I have never used a filter of any type.
    You drank Adelaide tap water and survived??!! 
    Perhaps it has preservative qualities ;D seriously it aint as bad as people make out, Ive had much worse in other parts of Aust.

      That is another thing the coffee and the water does taste better which is a bonus.

        Too many models to think about now. Has anyone heard of the Nitro? The only information I could find on it was here.. http://www.euroespresso.co.nz/assets/pdf/Home-Barista.pdf

        EDIT: Looks very similar to the
        Isomac Millennium
        and Andreja Premium

        Re-branded...

              I notice there are a few cheap machines with E61 type group heads which look the part, but are also quite slow... (low end ISOMACs.. etc)
              You probably would be fine with a cheap E61 machine, but I have read that the non commercial E61 groupheads do not have good jet flows for the intended thermosyphlyn. Something to keep in mind if your looking for perfection.

                  Not meaning to be rude DM but you have not yet mastered your Silvia, now you are offering advice on a machine you have never owned. :

                    I stated I read which implies not from my own experience. Sorry for any confusion on that. I spent months researching machines and reading threads...many times reading the same threads over and over analysing. I read about the lower end non commercial e61 heads on a different coffee forum. This person is very dedicated enthusiast on espresso machines and I respect his opinions. Im not say anyone has to, but I like to contribute what I have come across

                      Hi All,

                      I had all but decided on purchasing a Silvia, which seems to have a solid reputation until I saw this clip on youtube which tests the speed of 5 machines each making 4 lattes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KUlocRydXw

                      This has  put me off a bit, and I have started researching more expensive machines, and also looking at second hand options.

                      I dont quite understand what enables a machine to pour a shot and steam continuously, but am guessing its the size of the boiler, or having independent/dual boilers.


                      I notice there are a few cheap machines with E61 type group heads which look the part, but are also quite slow... (low end ISOMACs.. etc)

                      Does anyone have comments about the Silvia workflow, and what attributes/features/components I should be looking for?
                      Steam like a liter of milk in one or two batches, pull four shots, job done, no fuss

                        I read a whole lot about flying planes. Sadly, nobody will let me fly theirs  ;D

                        I wouldnt advise that. Its a recipe for a new boiler.

                          Why not Chris? if what your reading is from a credible source then surely you should be well qualified to take the controls of an aircraft, and of course write with some authority on the subject. ;D

                            Thats asking a lot from a small machine, In my experience with a Silvia, I never attempted to steam a litre of milk in one go, dont think it would be up to the task, in fact it would be pretty well at its limit with 500ml.

                                Stop in the middle of the steaming, talk to your guests, top up boiler - finish steaming - pull shots
